I’ve been to two protest BLM protest and no kings day celebration protest. BLM protest was intimidating at first because I Parked close to the event and police had us surrounded and were gasing us, but that ended with them putting their shield and bats down as symbolic way of ending hostilities. No Kings day was way more chill and no confrontation with authorities that I witnessed but some happened before I got there, other than that it was mostly talking to people and expressing yourself in public.
There’s fun stories
I don’t like multitudes so no. They tend to be stressful. And for the ones I went alone without knowing anyone I felt a lot of social anxiety.
But sometimes you gotta go even if it’s not pleasant.
